1 National Transport Finance Plan 2017 Update

Foreword

I am pleased with the progress we have made to deliver an ambitious programme of transport improvements as set out in the National Transport Finance Plan published in 2015. We have already delivered a number of schemes including: Metro Phase 1 commitments; the upgrade to the A55 Tunnels; Section 3 of the A465 Brynmawr to Tredegar dualling: Eastern Bay Road Link (Queensgate to Ocean Way) as well as packages of smaller scale measures such as improving accessibility to stations.

My intention is to review the National Transport Finance Plan on an annual basis. This update is the first review and describes what we have achieved, new initiatives we have taken on board, and how the programme over the next three years is going to be delivered.

The Plan, whilst not a policy document, sets out how we propose to deliver the outcomes described in our Wales Transport Strategy.

As in the case of the 2015 Plan, the programme over the next three years is an ambitious one and includes important interventions such as the roll out of the metro concept to North East Wales and to Swansea Bay and the Western Valleys.

There is a clear shift to undertaking smaller more affordable interventions that can still achieve a big impact and target more communities such as the pinch point programme to tackle road congestion and improve bus service reliability.

Sustainable forms of travel are also prominent in our programme targeting new railway stations, improvements to bus and rail services and promoting walking and cycling and integrated transport solutions.

2 National Transport Finance Plan 2017 Update

The financial envelope within which we have to deliver our Plan remains challenging. I am confident however the investments we propose will lead to a step change to our transport system.

Ken Skates AM Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport

3 National Transport Finance Plan 2017 Update

1 Introduction

The National Transport Finance Plan was published in July 2015. It sets out in more detail how we propose to deliver the outcomes set out in the Wales Transport Strategy from 2015 and beyond. The Plan includes all transport interventions financed by the Welsh Government.

This National Transport Finance Plan 2017 Update provides information on progress since publication and provides a revised programme for the next three years and beyond. This Plan also sets out:

 The timescale for financing and delivering the schemes undertaken by the Welsh Government;

 The estimated expenditure required to deliver the schemes;

 The likely sources of financing to allow delivery to take place.

This Plan is not a policy document nor does it seek to prioritise schemes to be taken forward. Some of our projects are being delivered, some are under construction and others are under development.

3 Updated National Transport Finance Plan Programme

3.1 Delivery and timescales

The National Transport Finance Plan 2017 Update schemes are a combination of revenue and capital initiatives. These range from scheme specific to others where further investigatory/development work is required.

A delivery schedule setting out the National Transport Finance Plan’s schemes is set out in Annex B. The delivery schedule reflects the current assumptions about the delivery profile of each scheme and these may be subject to change, recognising the statutory processes that must be completed and the need to be responsive to changing circumstances.

The delivery schedule will continue to be reviewed and updated as the delivery profile for specific schemes becomes clearer.

4 Funding

4.1 Overview

We are focused on ensuring value for money and driving efficiency in all transport schemes.

The schemes set out in this NTFP 2017 Update, will be delivered by drawing on a number of funding sources, but principally Welsh Government transport department capital and revenue budgets.

The total cost of schemes included in the interim NTFP (from 2017/18 to 2019/20) is £2.7billion against a budget of £2.33billion. Any shortfall will be bridged by using other match funding sources, such as European Regional Development Funding (ERDF) and will also be managed by re-profiling schemes, where necessary.

Table 4.1 below sets out the indicative spending profile over the remaining Plan period. Schemes yet to be developed will be taken forward subject to a robust business case analysis demonstrating value for money and future discussions on budget settlements. The programme will be regularly reviewed and updated as scheme development progresses.

4.2 European Structural Funds

Our key strategic transport routes and hubs are reflected in the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T1) - the EU policy designed to promote cohesion, interconnection and interoperability of national transport systems through the application of common standards (see Figure 4.3).
